Mission/Background :
Unfortunately, it is impossible to switch all plastics from petroleum-based to bio-based materials in terms of quality and quantity. In this case, we wonder if we can effectively use biomass materials, which are relatively inexpensive and not used much, that are close to us now, as materials rather than fuel.
i-WPC, or innovative wood-plastic composite, is a plastic that uses biomass from forest resources and other sources while maintaining performance and without waste. Plastic materials that contain up to 55% biomass have the same molding freedom as conventional plastics and have achieved improved material performance.
In addition, we have created a marine biodegradable biomass composite plastic material "Biofade" which is an effective solution to the problem of plastic waste in the ocean. The biodegradation speed and melting properties can be changed depending on the compounding composition. It can be used for injection as well as blow molding, and we have also successfully molded a float buoy. |

Technology & Business

○Biofade, a marine biodegradable biomass composite plastic material
Large amount of bacteria live in food waste and soil, making biodegradation easy, but seawater has very few bacteria, making it a very difficult environment for biodegradation. Conversely, plastic that biodegrades in seawater can be said to be almighty. In order to solve "the ocean plastic waste problem," we aimed to create a plastic material that easily biodegrades in seawater. The result is "Biofade".
○i-WPC, an advanced wood-plastic composite material
Normally, wood-plastic materials are said to be unsuitable for injection molding because of their extremely high melt viscosity, and at higher temperature the wood components are thermally decomposed, causing a foul odor and discoloration, so injection molding was considered impossible. We were the first to establish this "innovative wood plastic composite “i-WPC” that can be injection molded, etc. This can be molded using commonly used plastic injection molding machines and molds.

Alliance strategy
|
○ Biofade, Why don't you work together to commercialize marine materials using marine biodegradable biomass composite plastics? The problem of plastic waste in the ocean is a globally urgent issue. Now is the time to develop products in the blue ocean, depending on your ideas.
○ i-WPC, Biomass composite plastic. Why don't you use the abundant waste wood to create products that enrich your life? We can make anything from small to large. We will provide technical support.
